What to Expect at Your Extraction Appointment
The idea of having a tooth pulled sounds worse than it actually is for most patients. Dr. Demetriou numbs the area fully before beginning, so what you feel is pressure — not pain — during the removal. Most simple extractions take just a few minutes once the anesthesia has taken effect.
Before you leave, we’ll go over clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly what to expect during healing. We’re also easy to reach by phone if any questions or concerns come up in the days following your procedure. Dr. Demetriou personally follows up with patients after procedures — it’s the kind of attentive care that keeps Danvers families coming back year after year.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure begins. Most patients feel pressure during the extraction but not pain. Any soreness afterward is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and resolves within a few days.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients feel comfortable within a few days. Full healing of the gum tissue typically takes one to two weeks. We provide specific aftercare instructions at your appointment tailored to your situation.
Do I need to replace the extracted tooth?
For most teeth, yes. Leaving a gap can cause neighboring teeth to shift and affect your bite and jaw health over time. Dr. Demetriou can discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges at your appointment so you leave with a clear plan.
Can I eat normally after an extraction?
We recommend soft foods for the first day or two while the site begins to heal. Most patients are back to their regular diet within a few days.
How far is the office from Danvers?
Our North Andover office is approximately 20 to 25 minutes from Danvers. We welcome Danvers patients and do our best to accommodate urgent cases as quickly as possible.
